Frankfurt Campus

Community Life Fair

Frankfurt School places great value on student engagement and fostering it. The Community Life Fair offers students an easy way to learn about all the student engagement opportunities on campus. In addition to student initiatives and the Student Council, the Ambassador Programme and the Alumni Association will also present themselves at the fair. 

Students can discuss how and for which issues they would like to get involved in a personal conversation. The wide range of opportunities offers everyone an opportunity to get involved on campus.

Community Values
Respect
We treat all members of the Frankfurt School community with respect, as we do Frankfurt School’s facilities and property – and in so doing we embrace the principles of ethical academic conduct. We extend this respect to other universities, where we take pride in representing Frankfurt School.
Responsibility
As a highly reputable business school, we rely on our student community to represent Frankfurt School with dignity and pride. We strive to make a responsible contribution to society and social progress. This strong sense of responsibility and social engagement is essential to Frankfurt School’s continuing development, growth and success.
Engagement
Student life at Frankfurt School is an unforgettable experience and flourishes as a direct result of individual contributions. By helping others with their questions or concerns, representing your fellow students as a group speaker, participating in one of our student initiatives or serving on the Student Council, you help to make our student culture lively and diverse. There are countless ways to engage with and shape our community.
Trust
At Frankfurt School, mutual trust is the cornerstone of our highly motivated student body and the key to our sense of identity. We trust each other to show respect towards fellow students, faculty members, Frankfurt School staff and property. Our trust in one other is essential for the dynamic collaboration that helps us to achieve our academic goals and foster Frankfurt School’s values both within and outside our community. Trust in each other plays a vital part in creating an environment in which we can learn, safely fail and successfully grow to reach our full potential.
Cooperation
As lifelong members of the Frankfurt School Community, we are always aware that we share common goals and interests, and that respectful collaboration and a strong sense of fairness are essential for studying, working and living together. We value and promote an open and mutually supportive atmosphere in which every voice is heard, and teamwork is strongly encouraged.

Honour Council

The Honour Council is a committee of faculty representatives, students and of Frankfurt School employees. It oversees the compliance with the community values which we have agreed with our students and set down in our Honour Code. The principles of our Honour Code are respect, responsibility, engagement, trust and cooperation. Frankfurt School believes that these values help individuals to grow and the Community to prosper. This is why these principles represent the core values of our diverse Community and underpin Frankfurt School’s academic integrity. Consequently, it is important to share our Honour Code, encourage community members to adhere to it and – if need be – enforce it.

The Honour Council’s mission is to promote the values of the Honour Code within the Community, to develop our Code of Conduct in response to ethical and moral questions and deal with violations of our Honour Code. Social misconduct, damage to property, or violations of the conventions governing proper academic work are examples of issues brought before the Honour Council. The Honour Council reviews and evaluates reported incidents and sanctions them if they are deemed to violate the Honour Code.

Frankfurt School Spirit Award

Frankfurt School students engage with the Frankfurt School Community and other communities in many different ways. Frankfurt School Spirit Award embodies Frankfurt School’s recognition and appreciation of students who live and breathe the business school’s Honour Code values to an outstanding extent, investing huge amounts of time and energy in extracurricular activities on behalf of their communities.
